Mannlichers....

Judging by the inletting, it once had a bigger diameter barrel in the stock. I guess someone could have gotten carried away trying to free float the barrel. It looks like it has never had iron sights on it’s barrel.

I hadn't noticed that...but yes, it seems to be free-floated, and if I am reading the photo correctly the receiver may be glass-bedded as well.

This has no business being in my possession. But still neat.

I bet that would look slick with a more Germanic buttstock

 

[Buckmastr]

That rifle could have kicked some German butt. Who knows?

All that #4 needs is a nice checkering job.

A Krico-made clone of the Brno 465, made 1954-63. Apparently the receivers were not Brno parts but were made by Pfaff, the German sewing machine makers. (Not so unusual, considering that Husqvarna is also a sewing machine company.)

I see one of these Krico-made Brno clones in .222 now for sale at Prophet River. Fullstock w/ DST.
However, it is expensive and is also listed as being a "single shot conversion," without any details.
(Not that a single shot conversion is necessarily a bad thing, but a further explanation is necessary and has been requested.)

That is much nicer than the beech stocked one I saw decades ago in Guncraft.

I picked up one of those Beech wood 22 LR but kick myself for not getting the full stock versión. Too bad Guncraft shut down so soon. Used to be a great place there on Edmonton Trail in Cowtown.

I have one of the krico mannlicher s with double set triggers in 22lr ,nice little rifle

 

[buckbrush]

Yes, that Krico is very nice.

 

[chasseur]

Ya it fits in nicely with steyr Zephyr full stock and my Ruger 77/22RSI

 

[Mangosteen]

Gorgeous. Beauty. Would like to find one like that.

Prophet River sent me these two pictures of the "single shot conversion" of that early fullstock Krico clone of the Brno 465. It appears to be just a block of wood glued into the magazine well and then stained black on the botom. I am thinking that the original owner lost the original magazine. I suppose the wood block would make it easier to load single rounds.

 

[buckbrush]

At the price they are asking, that is unacceptable. That’s a pretty scabby modification, probably epoxied in place.

x2 amateur hour.

It is a consigment though and the seller not PR sets the price.

 

[Rob]

They are also usually open to offers.

That's a beauty. I have a dumoulin with regular stock in 7x61. They made nice rifles. - dan
